lyrics

Shadows leap off the walls they're on

On it goes, on it goes just like this
till you find yourself
suddenly questioning everything you know
everyone's a shadow
with a nice tight grip on the rug that you're on

Some lights can brighten any room they shine in
no light could touch me now
Some shadows creep,
some shadows weep,
some shadows leap

Shadows leap off the walls they're on

On it goes, on it goes just like this
till you wake up drenched in sweat
clenching your fists
yelling your nonsense out into the pitch black empty abyss
Its a clever trick
shadows dancing in time to the flickering candle flame

Your light has failed you
your light's a pale blue streak upon the wall
Some shadows creep,
some shadows speak,
some shadows leap

Shadows leap off the walls they're on

On it goes, on it goes just like that
but I never seen it that black
knocking my own lights out I hit the ground like soggy sack
Its a dirty trick
shadows closing in round the burnt down candle wick

My light will find you
my light will blind you
my light will grind you up
Some shadows creep,
some shadows weep,
some shadows leap

Shadows leap off the walls they're on
